Looking to escape the city for some winter fun? Head south on December 9th and explore a few of the festive things happening in Leduc County!
We will be at the Leduc County Business Entrepreneur Centre from 10am-5pm, during the “Very Merry Thriftmas” market.
At Merry Thriftmas, you'll find a curated selection of preloved items that are sure to bring back fond memories. Browse through racks of vintage clothing and timeless pieces that never go out of style. From statement jackets to vintage band tees and accessories, there's something to suit every taste and style.
So much more than just clothing, including collections of nostalgic gifts and housewares that are perfect for anyone on your list. From unique vintage home decor to quirky collectibles and sentimental trinkets, you'll find the perfect present that will bring a smile to their face. Whether you're shopping for a loved one or treating yourself, the VMT vendors have curated a variety of items that are sure to delight.
We’ll be on deck slinging snacks, serving up our signature poutine along with a wide selection of treats from our bakery (including holiday cookie boxes, maple bacon caramel corn, s’mores kits with house-made mallows and Jacek chocolate, and so much more). There will also be hot apple cider available at no charge for anyone who remembers to bring a donation to the Food Bank!
Local best-selling author, Karlynn Johnston (AKA The Kitchen Magpie) , will be on site to sign and sell her latest cookbook - “A Very Prairie Christmas Bakebook: Cookies, Candies, Cakes & More: Vintage Baking to Celebrate the Festive Season”, and we’ll be selling a completed version of one of her signature recipes (and a Canadian classic) - Nanaimo bars.
Our pals at Alternate Route will also be on-site, serving up the most delicious specialty coffees using ethically sourced beans that are roasted minutes away.
On top of that, there are walking trails to explore (dog friendly), fire pits, an outdoor playground, and indoor crafting/activities for kiddos in the old racquetball courts!
